Display control system, pointer, and display panel
View Patent ↗The display control system performs display control according to a position indicated by a pointer on a display panel. The display panel includes pixel regions defined by a black matrix, and a positional information pattern showing a plan position is formed in the display panel. The pointer includes a reader configured to capture an image which is at the indicated position and includes the positional information pattern. The optical system of the reader is formed to have a low resolution so that the black matrix of the display panel is removed.
1. A display control system comprising:
a display device including a display area; and
a pointer configured to indicate a position on the display area, wherein
the display control system performs display control according to the position indicated by the pointer,
the display area of the display device includes pixel regions defined by a black matrix, and a plurality of positional information patterns showing a plan position in the display area,
the pointer includes
a pointing section configured to indicate a position on the display area, and
a reader configured to capture an image which is located at the position indicated by the pointing section and includes one or more of the plurality of positional information patterns,
a resolution of an optical system in the reader is lower than at least one of a spatial frequency in a column direction of the black matrix or a spatial frequency in a row direction of the black matrix, and
a spatial frequency of the plurality of positional information patterns is lower than the resolution of the optical system in the reader.
2. The display control system of claim 1 , wherein
the resolution of the optical system in the reader is lower than the spatial frequencies in both the column and row directions of the black matrix.
3. The display control system of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of positional information patterns is a dot provided in a color filter of the display device.
4. A pointer configured to indicate a position in a display area which includes pixel regions defined by a black matrix and in which a plurality of positional information patterns showing a plan position is formed on a display device, the pointer comprising:
a pointing section configured to indicate a position on the display area; and
a reader configured to capture an image which is located at the position indicated by the pointing section and includes one or more of the plurality of positional information patterns, wherein
a resolution of an optical system in the reader is lower than at least one of a spatial frequency in a column direction of the black matrix or a spatial frequency in a row direction of the black matrix, and is higher than a spatial frequency of the plurality of positional information patterns.
5. The pointer of claim 4 , wherein each of the plurality of positional information patterns is a dot provided in a color filter of the display area.
6. A display panel for use in a display control system including a display area and configured to perform display control according to a position indicated by a pointer, wherein:
the display area includes pixel regions defined by a black matrix, and a plurality of positional information patterns which show a plan position in the display area,
the pointer includes
a pointing section configured to indicate a position on the display area, and
a reader configured to capture an image which is located at the position indicated by the pointing section and includes one or more of the plurality of positional information patterns, and
in the display area, the black matrix is formed such that at least one of a spatial frequency in a column direction or a spatial frequency in a row direction is higher than a resolution of an optical system in the reader, and a spatial frequency of the plurality of positional information patterns is lower than the resolution of the optical system in the reader.
7. The display panel of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of positional information patterns is a dot provided in a color filter of the display panel.
